Passengers on board a Rex Airlines flight from Brisbane to Roma experienced a delay, after their plane turned around midway to their destination.
The flight took off from Brisbane airport at 8.55am on Tuesday, but was diverted back to Brisbane before it could land in Roma.

“It departed soon after following a short delay.”
